The “Tony is a Lightweight” Memorial Cocktail Contest

“What do you mean, ‘no contest’? I could have been way more drunk if I knew there was a contest!”

Linkin Park & Shadow AMVs. Embarrassing fancharacters. Dealing with 12-year-olds who get angry with you for daring to not be blindingly positive.

Man, the Sonic fandom can really drive you to drinking at times.

Therefore, it was a wise decision on behalf of Sega to hold Sonic Boom in a venue with a bar, because lord knows it was needed. To the credit of Club Nokia, they tried to join in the festivities of the night with a house cocktail: Sonic Rocks. Made with blue curacao, vodka, lemon and Sprite, the drink was described by forum regular Ashura2k as tasting “like a Chaos Emerald.” Your guess on interpretation is as good as mine. However, I do know one thing: a drink made with those ingredients is going to be relatively weak. That’s why I’m betting that the Retro community can come up with an even better Sonic-related cocktail–so much so that we’re giving away a set of Sonic shot glasses to whoever can create the best drink.

Details and rules after the cut.

The Rules

1. You must create a Sonic-related cocktail. Granted, we’ll be pretty lax with interpretation: if you want to make a Porker Lewis bacon martini or something involving Mega Mack, we’ll roll with it, but you need to tie it into the Sonic series somehow.

2. Your cocktail must be original in some way. We have Google too. We’re aware of the few “Sonic the Hedgehog” drinks floating about. Don’t be lame.

3. Your entry must be submitted by July 1, 2011.

Cocktails will be judged on their creativity, taste, and strength of drink. Judging shall be done by Sonic Retro staff. Winners will be announced either through a podcast or through a video demonstrating the winners. The grand prize winner will win a set of four (4) Sonic shot glasses, with the first and second runners-up receiving three packs of Sega Freaks cards.

I have two:
The first is a “Sally Acorn Screw-Nut”
It’ll drive you nuts!

In this order:
Take 3 tablespoons of either Jack Daniels or Famous Grouse Whisky.
Take 2 spoon fulls of Cranberry Juice.
Fill the glass half way with Blue cap whole Milk.
Top it off with some whipped cream.
Finally grab an Acorn and crack away, dusting the little bits that fall off, onto the whipped cream.
Now enjoy.

It tastes good and it gets the job done.

The second being a “Pink and Green, Amy supreme” named after the oldskool Amy Rose.

This one’s sure to tickle your taste buds.

1/4 Glass of Green Cactus Jacks.
1/4 Glass of Cranberry Juice.
Take 2 tablespoons of Vodka.
Now take a Kiwi and a strawberry.
Slice the Kiwi and place it on the side of the glass and do the same with the Strawberry, add a small umbrella for added appeal.

Light Rum mixed with some Coconut Milk
A slice of Pineapple, Cherry, Strawbery and Mango
Blend with ice and mix in a small spoonful of white sugar, stir slowly then store in a nice cool place for a short while.
Serve into a glass and add a small paper umbrella with a slice of cherry, mango or strawberry.
Enjoy the taste of the South! =D
